According to The American Heritage Dictionary of The English Language 1973 edition (we happened to have it handy) the word dodder means “To shake or move shakily, as from old age.” Oh dear. But since we are all taking this shaky journey together, whether some of us are just stepping on the train or others just gathering our belongings together before heading out to that last depot, we might as well try to enjoy it and have some fun along the way.
